DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Appeals from a decree of the Surrogate's Court, Suffolk County dated October 16, 2023, and a decision of the same court dated September 13, 2023. Motion by the nonparty-appellants to stay enforcement of the decree, pending hearing and determination of the appeals. Cross-motion by petitioners-respondents to dismiss the appeal by the nonparty-appellants on the ground that no appeal lies from a paper entered upon the default of the appealing party.

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and cross-motion and the papers filed in opposition thereto, it is

ORDERED that the motion is denied; and it is further,

ORDERED that the cross-motion is granted and the appeal by the nonparty-appellants is dismissed, without costs or disbursements (see CPLR 5511).

BARROS, J.P., CHAMBERS, WOOTEN and WAN, JJ., concur.
